Yea I certainly hope so, and if the large outlay we paid out manifests itself in consistent performances that's when the recruitment team should be rewarded in my opinion.
Great comment over a cup of coffee this morning.

What would people say if we promoted Sheehan to DOF rather than sacked him 🤣
 
Stamanic = success, better than what we had last season in his role and looks to be getting better

Galbraith = success, better than what we had last season in midfield and RB. Better then anyone else on the team

Yalcoua = unsure but when he comes on he looks far better than Franco. Does not have the trust of the managers though, could be a huge success but after what he was built up to be it feels a flop

Innousa = partial success, I think once he settles he’s better than any of our wingers

Idah = unsure, better than Cullen up top for holding the ball up etc but looks lazy. Jury is out.

Wales - unsure, I like him and he looks good when he plays. Young though and needs time and opportunity’s or loan to league 1

Burgess = unsure, thought he looked great at start and what a coup. But he’s dangerous in our own box and has a few terrible passes to them a game.

Casey = success and solid but not had much time

Samuel’s smith as above

Benson = dreadful

Only my opinion and I respect that others will completely disagree with me but that’s how I’ve seen the signings.
Agree with pretty much all of that.

Be interesting to see what the end of season reviews will look like in comparison.
 
You replied to a post by Cinio there Risc, wasn't my post.

I sincerely hope you are correct because I currently have a disappointed young man in my house(my 11yr old) who is very disappointed with the season so far. I would love to tell him that it won't last and it will improve but I can't be sure of that myself although I have hope that it will.
Sheehan was the major factor in our dissapointing season to date

I wouldn't disagree with that, I think it would be silly to do so. The signs have been encouraging since Matos come in but there can always be a new manager bounce that I am keeping in mind.

Signs have been positive and the forward players have been expressing themselves more which is nice to see. We need to see more from the players now and they need to start performing more consistently so we can move up the table....until then, jury will still be out.
It's tough to defend things presently given our league position but ultimately it could be a different scenario come game 46.
 
Beat not to dig too deep in my experience. Fairly obvious who’s feeding who.
At the risk of you calling me a stalker I’d just like to say that I have pointed out similar for quite some time now, I have my own ideas on what’s been going on, I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on it. If I post it on here the usual suspects will jump on it, but at some point I’d be interested ……

Post it, I'd be interested in reading your thoughts. If people don't like it tough (I include myself in that).

I ain’t posting my thoughts on here. Too many people out there who will take offence. And worse.
 
I would argue that it would be more than 10 pages if let's say Paul Watson was behind the recruitment in the summer.

Watsons summer was an absolute disaster and we are still reeling from it.
Josh Tymon âś…
Ronald âś…
Carl Rushworth (loan) âś…
Jerry Yates ❌
Mykola Kukharevych ❌ (left for free)
Nathan Tjoe A On ❌ (left for free)
Kristian Pederson ❌ (left for free)
Placheta free ❌ (left for free)
Josh Ginnelly free ❌ (left for free)
Charlie Patino (loan) ❌
Bashir Humphreys (loan) ❌
Harrison Ashby (loan) ❌
Yannick Bolasie (free) ❌ (left for free)
Charles Sagoe Jr (loan) ❌

3 from 14, and expensive.

Again, happy to bookmark it and if I’m miles out I’ll take the stick coming my way. We’ll make good returns here and this is just the start. Squad building.

Sheehan was a big mistake here and I think braver decision had to be made in summer but if we had and hellberg started badly there’d have been murder here so I can see the thinking behind decision.

You missed Vipotnik signed while Watson was here.

And Eom.

And Franco.

And Vigouroux.

Just of our starters last game. Obvs plus Tymon and Ronald who you mentioned.

So 6 of our most recent starting 11 were signed under Watson. With another 2 (Cullen and Cabango) already here.

I think our signings have been generally scattergun with lots of misses as you point out, but it’s fairer to be accurate.

I was referring to the summer the damage was done under Watson. Overall his success rate was a lot lower than what we are getting now, especially when you include the likes of O’Brien etc we signed in the January we were reeling big time under Williams.

If social media was anything to go by the fans want to see Yalcouye start infront of Franco aswell this season.
 
"his success rate was a lot lower than what we are getting now, "

5th from bottom! success!
We wouldn’t be with a different manager, hence me saying please bookmark and if it comes back to bite me then so be it.

This summer was about getting footballers who are assets for the club, we finally have that. What did Yates/Myko/Tjoe plus the others I mentioned ever bring for us? If you want a trading model which I assume we do I’m sure the owners have even mentioned it in one of their statements to fans then we need players like Galbraith, Stamenic, Widdell and Inoussa

"]We wouldn’t be with a different manager,"........vant be proved, on the rest we all hope your right, but its early days , and a lot can happen between now and the end of the season, then we should have an idea .
